With Mody's body lying on the grass, the 1905th stares at him with a creepy, victory smile.

1905th: "You've been wishing for it for the past four billion years, I'm glad I made your wish true."

he walked past the body, skipping Mody's legs. He reached a bush behind Mody.

1905th: "Did you get a good look at that, dear?"

Behind the bush, Agent C was tied up and muffled. Her tears were wetting the cloth blocking her mouth, for she knew that her hope is gone with Mody dead on the ground.

1905th: "What's wrong dear? I just did what he wanted. Look at him, at peace, dead."

The 1905th said with a smile on his face.

1905th: "Now let's go, we have a world to convert."

His smile faded, and he grabbed Agent C by the shoulder and headed to the body. Charlotte's muffled screaming was increasing as they got closer to the body. He took her and threw her by the body.

1905th: "Look at your hero a last time."

He waited for ten seconds, and then he quickly took Agent C and left to Agent C's podium.

"Hello masses!" The 1905th shouted into the microphone on the pedestal. The soldiers confused to what was happening, they noticed a tied-up Charlotte next to him.

Almost all of the soldiers pointed their guns at the man immediately. "Look Charlotte! They want to kill me, because I tied you up. Wonder how they'll feel when I tell them, I killed the whole reason for their fight." He said it loud enough into Charlotte's ear that the microphone picked it up.

"Oh, sorry, didn't mean for you to hear that. Big C, tell them what happened." He held Charlotte up by the shoulder in front of the mic. "Go on!" he added.

"Kill him! don't hesitate, even if you shoot me!" She shouted.

Not understanding the situation, no one moved an inch. Still aiming at the two, the soldiers were hesitant to pull their triggers.

There was silence, the air felt foggy and thick. Charlotte had trouble breathing, all the memories from her childhood came rushing through. Overwhelmed, Charlotte gasped for air. She remembered everything, she was a member of one of the Joker families. Her father, he was the infamous Joker with the two Aces. That's why Mody always visited her father. Charlotte first dismissed these memories as the life flashing before her eyes. But still, it felt strange remembering this right now.

A dark figure appeared in the foggy sky, it let out a loud single tone. Eighteen soldiers and agents fell unconscious as soon as the tone sounded, Charlotte with them. Swarms of small robotic parts filled the sky around the figure, then proceeded to dive down to the seventeen soldiers and agents. They were covering the unconscious bodies, bonding to create armor around them. The sharp tone soon ended, with all eighteen woken up covered in strong metal armor. Except for Charlotte, she had a gauntlet and a helmet. Every single one of them did not feel alive, they felt like shells. The dark figure disappeared from the fog.

Charlotte freed herself from the 1905th's grip and turned to the masses and said "Arise! Joker families join me in avenging our leader. Join me to kill the traitor!" The families' members started levitating with miniature jet engines on their feet and backs. "Take aim!" Charlotte shouted.

The 1905th looked around confused, still smiling. "You can't kill me, I built my body unlike the heirloom you call Mody." He said with a smug smile on his face.
